We're serious about placements

We don't just talk about getting you career-ready, we make it happen. As one of the UK's largest placement providers, we offer access to over 1,000 employer connections, giving you the chance to gain real industry experience before you graduate. Many of our courses include a placement, and most are paid, so you can earn while you learn. You'll graduate with more than a degree - you'll leave with the experience, confidence and industry connections that help you stand out to employers.

Placement stories

Big Investment. Bigger Opportunities.

We have invested £300 million in new campuses, equipment and resources all designed to give you the kind of experience you actually want from university. Think modern, high-tech facilities, real-world training environments and spaces that feel more like the workplace than a traditional classroom.

A city that has it all

Study in the heart of Birmingham, one of the UK's youngest, most exciting and best-connected cities. With nearly 40% of the population under 25, there's always something happening, from amazing food spots and shopping to live music, festivals, sport and nightlife. Plus, with London less than 90 minutes away by train and opportunities from leading employers across the city, Birmingham is the perfect place to study, explore and kick-start your future.

£6,000 to help fund your studies

University is about chasing your goals, not worrying about your finances. That's why eligible UK full-time undergraduate students starting in September 2026 will receive £6,000 to help cover everyday living costs like food, bills and transport, and you don't have to pay it back. It's just one of the ways we make university more affordable, so you can spend less time thinking about money and more time making the most of your experience.
